uncocked, (C07) should not idle in the direction of its rotation, checked by the cut-opening of (A03), and
(C53).
(Diagram 22, 23)

If the gap of (C07) is considerable, it will invariably result in the counter dial travelling double scale space
even by single cocking. In this event, it is necessary to minimize the gap by hammering out the "A" part of
(C07). When (C53) can not be installed, file off !he "A" part.

Then have only the transport gear (C28) ready, separated from (C12), install it and the counter retainer lug
(C08). Check the interlocking of the counter advance lug (C06) with the teeth of (C28), to see that the gap
between the tip of (C06) and the teeth should be of approx. 1/3 pitch in the direction of concentric circle,
with the rapid wind lever uncocked.
(Diagram 25)
If the gap is more than 1/3 pitch, (C07) must be bent inward, whereas if the gap is less than 1/3 pitch, (C07)
must be bent outward.
(Diagram 26)

At this point, cock (C03) and let it return slowly. If (C06) travels smoothly over the tips of the teeth of
(C28), the pressure of (C06) on (C28) may be considered proper. If (C06) comes to a stop at its tooth tip, it
is because the pressure is too strong, in which event it is necessary to bend and stretch out, however, with
utmost care not to deform or damage it.
NOTE: (C06) is annealed.
When (C03) is cocked, the transport gear (C28) must move by approx. 1 1/3 pitch by the counter
retainer lug (C08).
(Diagram 27)
If moved less than 1 1/3 pitch, the "B" part (as illustrated in Diagram 24) must be hammered out,
